Raisins(old grapes), cherries, marshamllows, fudge, coconut, duck tongues, rutabaga, parsnips, green pepper, cilantro, chocolate, peanuts....for a start. Bad for a chef to not eat so many foods isn't it, but I have no problem cooking with any of them. I just can't seem to get past the thought of putting them into my mouth.

hahaha pds! I had a vision of the Aflac duck as I was reading your post! AAFFFLLLLAACCCCC!

I am usually game to try new stuff, but I am with ya on the insects or worms. Ever had a bug fly in your mouth? And I also remember a certain episode of fear factor when they were made to eat a certain part of a deer.... double

Heresy! White Castle burgers are a gift to humankind! Okay, I know, ya either love 'em or hate 'em and I happen to be one of those strange people that like them. The part about the steamed burgers doing a number on your gastrointestinal system is true, however. That's why they're nicknamed "Sliders" around here (use your imagination.) I'm with everyone else on organs, brains, fish eggs, etc. No way!

As you can tell from my highlights, I was outraged to find that someone
couldn't stand the taste of fudge, coconut and chocolate. That is insane!
How does someone NOT like the taste of chocolate!?!? Just curious, how were you introduced to these heavenly tastes and how did you
develop such a distaste for them?
